What Families Can Do

As families we all experience concern for students and staff mental and physical health and safety. We encourage parents and guardians to keep an open line of communication with your children. And check out some of the resources below for helpful suggestions.

Start your child's day with positive thoughts! You can print these Affirmation Cards at home to get started.

1. Put them in a jar and pull one out each morning at breakfast.
2. Tape them to your bathroom mirror.
3. Read one in the car when you leave for school.

Let us know how you use them!
